The GALA 2025
May 22, 2025 5:00 - 10:30 pm
A night to remember. A mission to celebrate.
The stage is set, the red carpet is rolled out, and the stars of our community are coming together for an unforgettable evening in support of your Fox Cities Performing Arts Center.
At The Gala, elegance and excitement take center stage as we raise funds to ensure the arts continue to inspire, educate, and unite our community. From an exquisite dinner on stage and thrilling live and silent auctions, to a Fund the Mission moment that makes a lasting impact, this is an evening where generosity shines as brightly as the spotlight.
Join us for a night of timeless glamour, meaningful connections, and the magic of live performance - all in support of a future where the arts remain accessible and vibrant for generations to come.
